What will I remember?

Life is long. People are many. What is truly important?

What will I remember?

Days pass by.

Life goes on.

What will I hold on to?

Family

Family

Grandparent, family.

Love?

Love?

Friendship?

War?

Kindness and love is all we have left in the end.

A man with a handful of bills and children at his feet.

He know love and what is important.

Author's Note

Just thoughts and pictures. I tell people. Be content for laughter and friends. These are the real Gold in a life.

As days go by, what will I remember?
Soft and shallow goals,
Of wishes unfulfilled?
Or kind and gentle hands,
Family, friend, and kin.

Something that popped into my head after reading this.

You make valid points. Family, the ones you choose to have and the ones that despite being thrust upon you, fill your heart are the true joys in life. Time wears away all things. Only through family does anything worthwhile ever last.

Thank you for sharing.

Very true not much to say besides that i love the way you have organised the poem.

[Enid Blake]

I agree with you. It's the people who've shared their lives with is that are important in the end.

I could really feel the emotion and sentiment behind the pictures and then the question marks.. sometimes it's in the reflection of the past and that one single ? that harbors the place where all the words of a poets heart lives...
Thank you for sharing you with us..xo
